Sure ranchump62, but a smaller rhexis makes chopping and also delivery the nuclear fragments more difficult. A larger rhexis allows you to occlude the fragment, partially prolapse it outside the bag and chop as you please.

a large rhexis is nice, but may very well be hard to control. i like making a small one, do initial phaco, then enlarge it.
